Priya, to me this scene more than anything defines Saaz! It was the Essence of Saaz! 😳
For once we viewers saw the two sides of the coin, isn't it?One side... in front of Anam, the cold, un-emotional businessman tackling a pesky problem, Anam... his subtle threats, his assertions, making her shiver in her boots and spill the beans... atleast what she knows!Or did she? I think Anam knows Zeenat is faking.. so she is still with-holding information from Sahir... their next face-off is going to be too bad for her! 😡Ok.. I digressed! 😉The Other side...We come to the evening... Sahir is back in his room... his safe haven. Like every other time when he came face to face with his past, he felt dejected, frustrated, tired even... he was still nowhere close to an answer... and maybe even disgusted as well, because Anam today confirmed what he had been doubting for 7 years... he is feeling vulnerable, all those memories are rushing in once again! The mask of the cold businessman is off in this space...Earlier he would have either smashed and broken a few things or hurt himself in his frustration... to me this scene sort of told us exactly how he ended up doing such hurtful things.But... the big change... he was not alone this time! There is another person, once who cares for him, one who realized he was upset and sad... and then starts her gentle coaxing... I loved this! 😃All her chatter about inconsequential things to divert him works... slowly cajoling him to try something new... by now she has reached his despair but has not brought him out of there... and when he smiles she sees he is coming out. Finally she approaches the subject... again just like before she approaches it as one would approach a wounded animal... and again coaxing him to just unburden himself... take a break and let her worry for him... and amazingly he does!This entire sequence struck a chord! It was sensitively handled! 👏👏👏
